Alban Berg Quartett
Beethoven String Quartet No 12 Op 127 in E flat major

[@maumusa123]

Schumann said that Op. 131 and Op. 127 had a "grandeur ... which no words can express. They seem to me to stand ... on the extreme boundary of all that has hitherto been attained by human art and imagination."

[@moviereviews1446]

He was right.

[@ElizabethPoet]

Which Schumann, Clara or Robert?

Actually it was Kevin Schumann @@ElizabethPoet

Beethoven's Late String Quartets is a sublime set of music.

I corrected your sentence, thank me later.

I'd say the Alban Berg Quartett was the finest chamber ensemble of the 20th century. The chemistry, ellegance and balance in their playing is unmatched. Whether it's Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms, Mozart... they knew it all. May maestro Kakuska rest in piece, he gave us the most magical performances of these wonderful pieces.

[@tomasbrummel4197]

Amen

[@steve29roses]

Well, the Bartok String Quartet were amazing, or the Tokyo String Quartet.....I find this quartet takes too long between movements.

Evocar al ProHombre... Donde estaba su vida al componer esto..... La excelencia de los intérpretes. He disfrutado hasta las lágrimas esta maravillosa interpretación. GRACIAS POR COMPARTIR.

[@karlbauer9734]

Ich empfinde es genau so, die Interpretationen des Alban Berg Quartetts gefallen mir auch am besten.

[@TRRyan]

The grandeur of those opening chords is fantastic. They reinforce Beethoven's reputation as being the arch dramatist of music. E flat major is often preferred by the master for heroic utterances, as in the Third Symphony.

Mais uma obra prima na forma de adágio. Sempre momentos de expressão máxima de criatividade do grande MESTRE de Bonn.

[@michaelletellier218]

Thank you for uploading this performance. It is well worth listening to and a joy. I am most fortunate to have attended some of their concerts. Quibbles about intonation are entirely beside the point and fatuous. It's live music making, and a grand interpretation. Again, thank you for sharing.

[@johnfuester33rd]

What a change from his first written maybe 24 or 25 years earlier, yet still his genius comes forth as does the great musicianship of the Alban Berg Quartet.

[@williammoraes948]

Beethoven ficaria orgulhoso. Perfeito!

[@giovannischiavocampo1993]

qui Beethoven sembra riassumere e anticipare tutto l'Ottocento e parte anche del Novecento musicale. Grandiosa interpretazione

Durch diese Streichquartett Nr. 12 bin ich vor ca. 30 Jahren überhaupt erst an Streichquartette bzw. Kammermusik herangeführt worden. Insofern war dieses Werk ein Schlüsselerlebnis für mich.

[@dion1949]

Getting back to supposed problems of intonation, the slow movement especially is full of remote modulations. If you can read music, try listening to a version that has the score to follow. You'll see what I mean.

[@dion1949]

Now I see where Mahler got the idea for some of his slow movements.

[@barbanegra5708]

I think Mahler got so many ideas from so many places... Like Shostakovich did

[@sanuratna1199]

I don't understand anything in the comment section, but I love this music

[@dion1949]

I've always liked the slow movement, but wonder how Beethoven came up with the idea of the German march. What does it mean in the context of the rest of the movement?

[@christianspillemose4074]

Beethoven would have answered: "Find out for yourself"

[@tomowenpianochannel]

The most consistent, virtuosic, fine-toned, mellow and recommendable quartet of all time? Possibly. Beethoven's late music is the equivalent. kzbin.info/aero/PLD8EqKTPZanwVcs6j0HD1G-nsBOozN4ao

[@ultimateconstruction]

God's early and middle Music is JUST AS good as late. Stop being so narrow-minded.

[@concerned1]

Does he use that opening somewhere else? My mind automatically expects another phrase which never arrives.

[@andias03]

Él es el compositor y estoy seguro que las frases que siguen son mejores que las que puedes imaginar. Cuando las oyes suficientes veces, entonces ya no imaginas otras y las esperas con impaciencia. Es lo que me sucede a mí. Espero que también a tí.

[@orishaswishes]

some are praising this to the hilt - I can't agree. I thought it was at times shapeless with some questionable intonation, phrasing and entrances. But opinions can vary so widely when it comes to artistic performance. So I'm glad some liked it a lot.

[@ultimateconstruction]

Opinions can vary, but there's only one truth. This Quartet, along with 15 others, is way more cleverly and intellectually composed than anything chopin ever wrote.

[@karlbauer9734]

Mahler hat sich so manche Motive bei anderen Komponisten abgeschaut. Was soll‘s, er war da nicht alleine.

[@sub-harmonik]

pretty good for a deaf dude

Incorrect. Beethoven = God.
